Correct, but if you're doing a freelance job, selling yourself as
being knowledgeable, the client expects *you* to be doing the work....
not to pawn it off on the cheapest subcontractor you can find. That's
the only point I was directing at you.

Not that they'll hold it against you, per se, but refer to my
paragraph above (from this message, not the quote).

No, no, not at all. You're always respectful and helpful. It was
an anecdote as it applied to the point: employers and clients search
the Internet and can find things you (or anyone) have said at any
point. So let this message clarify that --- it was meant to indicate
that I, as a prospective employer, turned an employee down based on
his recent history on the Internet.
Nathan Nobbe, himself, is a good little brat. ;-P
